Good Luck!
Bingo... I just did mine....
Wear some safety glasses/goggles, too... rust and dirt falling in the eyes, and filthy hands don't play well with each other...

I used Deep Creep on all the fasteners a half hour or so beforehand (while I changed my oil, and some other things...), and a 1/2" breaker bar, to get them started, then switched to a rachet, and took my time...

The really fun part is if, or when, you replace the front springs...
I tried to do them by myself...
came apart no problem.. trying to put them back in, eh, not so much...
You'll need a vict, er I mean friend to assist in that one...
At least I did...

Relax, take your time...
It's nasty, not exactly easy, but hey, you're workin on your truck...
Getting things done...
Have fun!
